I don’t like to mix my coal and wood fires, as my coal ash and clinkers go on the track and the wood ash goes on the forest floor especially where the rhododendrons have been removed.

Just out of interest how do you power your mill, I see it is 3 phase do you bring your own generator or do you need a 3 phase supply wher3 you set up.

I use the Dewalt power tools and have been thinking about an impact gun for a while, this thread has gave me the kick I need, will have a look in 2 weeks time at the January sales and see if there is and Dewalt impacts on offer.

To save getting my torque wrench out I usually just say click click out load with what ever I am using and hey presto it is torqued up perfectly.

What have you been feeding him😀 or did he sneak some extras.

I tend to use my 6” and 10” shifters the most, but as you can see from my pic the 6” shifter on my tool board is am imposter.

They look like Bahco shifters, which in my mind are the best ones out there, wonder if Blue Point have got Bahco to make them for them.

I agree with Stubby, I never trust welded cast iron, we had at best mixed results with getting cast parts welded at work, I would take the £300 hit.

How good are Tirfors, slow, a good work out but such a good versatile tool, I’ve used mine loads.

Just out of interest what would happen if you put tarmac down straight on top of that cracked concrete.

Yip had one of them😀

Willing to chuck a few quid at it, would rather spend £4k and have it last 20 years than spend £1k and have it last a year. Just plucked these figures out of mid air and no idea if they are in the right area.

Are you thinking of a drain to help stop a waterfall running down the slope if I use tarmac?

Sorry I should have said, I took the pic standing yard side, looking towards my entrance gate which is on a down slope, at my gate there is a track with a ditch at the side, a pipe joins each of the ditch across my entrance gate. i have also not included the downward slope in my 15x3m size earlier. The downward slope bit is different as it is not rubbish concrete it is compacted stoney soil, because of the slope it doesn’t puddle, it is probably another 15m long. I suppose it would make sense to do it all in one job at 30m length. My only worry about that would be causing a torrent of water coming down the slope if I had 30m of tarmac down.

Another view of the drive, thanks everyone for input so far.
